[Discussion][ROM][S4][WIP] CM10.1 on HTC One S

well it seemz that 10.1 experimental had a issue and did eveything wipe ect... i just rather wait for the next update , i thought i bricked it n checked everything n i was doing it right but its the build that he may not working properly, so like i said its much better to wait for the next one and go back to the one u had backed up

gotcha--there is always a rom or two that doesn't want to play nice on some phones no matter what we do

Why is it so difficult to get a working version of cyanogenmod? Just curious as to why every new release is utterly broken.

1. AOSP is not device specific, so every single handset needs to have it's specific drivers and associated tweaks imported by hand, one by one, by one or two dedicated developers, entirely in their spare time.

2. Utterly broken is just stupid. This build is 95% working only a few weeks after release to AOSP. The camera and bluetooth functions are always hard to get because the code is usually closed source for the hardware layers. If I didn't have a toddler I wanted to photograph, this would be my daily driver right now.

3. Most would find it very hard to get motivated to spend their free time delivering up awesome ROMs only to be told they are "utterly broken". I'd suggest you rewrite your comment as follows: "Why is it so difficult to get appreciation for devoting ones free time to developing awesome ROMs. Just curious why so many users are utterly rude".

I think the issue is about curiosity as to WHY they are broken, i.e. the camera was fixed in 4.1.2 so why is it broken in 4.2? To be honest I'm quite curious about that as well. Or eg the headset detection - this existed in 4.1 but was fixed, so I would have thought it should continue working on 4.2...

I suspect because the device specific parts of the One S have not been merged into the 4.2 branch. I don't think AOSP contains any proprietary code, while any handset hardware requires these binaries and hardware interface layers.

this used to irk me too
now i think of aosp as the OS
then there's the hardware specific files like libs and such...i think of these as the drivers
